Seems like a rude way to talk about her, but that’s how my source, the Nashville Examiner, refers to her. Her name is actually Beth Otrozki (or something like that), and she seems to go by “Beth O” – if the Examiner is to be believed. Anyway:

Howard Stern has said that his wife/model/entertainment correspondent/animal activist/trophy “Beth O” will be traveling to Los Angeles next month to participate in a televised reality show in some capacity, but the King of All Media is keeping quiet on the details. Although Howard Stern has stated that Beth O is scheduled to be gone on her mysterious Hollywood mission for “about a month” (probably not long enough to be on Dancing with the Stars) some fans see the statement as the weakest of subterfuge.

Apparently the Sterns are big fans of DWTS – so, we’ll find out in a few days!! Can’t wait!!

I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)

Interesting choice. She may be in over her head. Being a “big fan’ of the show does not make one competitive. Then again, she will have all of Stern’s listeners to vote for her so it may not matter.

I am still predicting a surprise – Aaron Carter will out dance them all. He is younger, and practically a professional dancer. It may also help that he and Cody Linley are friends, for a little help coaching.

Ray J, if he is on, like Aaron Carter, will likely out dance many of the others as well.

But I also KNOW both Olympian, Greg Louganis and American Gladiator, Beth “Venom” Horn — both of whom have expressed sincere interest in being on the show and who have a lot of fans backing them — would out dance many of the people rumored to be on DWTS 9 based on their work ethic and athletic ability. They both have the down home charm to win over fans.

But fan support/ratings are just as important as ability so all bets are off.

Elizabeth Edwards. We know she has been asked to join the cast. She is debating if her health is good enough to compete and she is also scared of making a fool of herself! WE WOULD VOTE FOR HER! She deserves to win! Keeping our fingers crossed that she joins!

John – excellent point. I am not thrilled about the proposition either.

Agent #8’s – I have never heard the Elizabeth Edwards rumor. She is an incredible woman, but I can’t imagine, given her health and family situation, that she would be interested. Yet, it would increase her book sales.
